Brass/Copper Anchor Oil Lamp, 29cm

The Nauticalia anchor lamp - traditionally hung from the mast and able to burn all night to warn other vessels whilst at anchor - is made to the style still used by some international shipping as a reserve in case of electrical failure. Made from solid brass and copper with a dioptric glass lens, and the handles at top and bottom incorporate a rope fixing ring. The oil burner unit can be removed to allow use with a tealight if required. Measures 29cm tall.
